Oh, I love me some Della Reese! The first time I saw "La Boheme," eons ago,I sat bolt upright when "Musetta's Waltz" started and whispered to my companion: "What the hell is a DELLA REESE song ["Don't You Know"] doing in this opera?!"
ReplyDeleteI adore her and especially Don't You Know, a song meant for a big-boned gal with a great big voice.
